By the 2021 census, half of owned homes were worth more than $266,000; the average was $270,388. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Saskatchewan, so nothing here says what Mayfair’s homes actually sold for. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $322,000. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Saskatoon as a whole, not for Mayfair alone.
Mayfair’s homes, by two sources
Two sources, each set against Saskatchewan’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Census values are owners’ own estimates, taken in May 2021, before the rise in interest rates.
